West Yorkshire Police took to Twitter to confirm it has received the call

West Yorkshire Police took to Twitter to confirm it had received the call and used the hashtag #not999.

It wrote: "999 received reporting that the Queen isn't wearing a seat belt. #not999 #notevenwestyorkshire"

Tom Donohoe, of West Yorkshire Police, said the force received more than 1,000 hoax calls to the 999 number.

He added: "These calls are so ridiculous it’s astonishing listening to them but they hide a serious truth."

"Each call often takes minutes to deal with as our Customer Contact Centre staff have to clarify the situation – it might not sound like much but if someone is trying to get through to report a genuine life or death emergency then a minute is a very long time to wait."

"I cannot stress enough that the 999 number is for emergencies only."

A government websites states people can be fined up to £500 if they fail to wear a seat belt when they are supposed to.
